Text me what you thought of the show 😊What if you could enhance your cognitive function and metabolic health without feeling exhausted? Discover how Low-Intensity Steady-State (LISS) training, or Zone 2 cardio, can transform your life, especially if you are navigating the demanding world of shift work. On this episode of "A Healthy Shift," we unpack the science behind maintaining a heart rate at 65% of your maximum through activities like brisk walking, light jogging, or stationary biking. This moderate, consistent exercise pace not only burns fat as the primary fuel source but also boosts blood flow to the brain, fostering neurogenesis that is essential for cognitive function, memory retention, and protection against neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's.We share practical tips to seamlessly integrate LIS training into your daily routine, ensuring it becomes an effortless part of your lifestyle without leading to burnout. Hear inspiring personal anecdotes and client testimonials that underscore the simplicity and effectiveness of this exercise modality. Whether you're on a treadmill, bike, or simply walking, the benefits of LISS training extend beyond physical health, offering enhanced mental sharpness and reduced cognitive fatigue. Make LISS training your game-changer for improved wellbeing and peak performance in your challenging shift work schedule.Support the show----------------------------Roger Sutherland is Australia's Night Shift & Sleep Specialist and the founder of A Healthy Shift.After more than 40 years working rotating shifts with Victoria Police, Roger now helps organisations reduce fatigue risk, improve staff wellbeing and build healthier, safer and higher-performing 24/7 workplaces through evidence-based education, circadian biology and the Shift Work Champions™ Framework.Shift Work Champions™: https://join.ahealthyshift.com/shift-work-capabilityWebsite: https://ahealthyshift.com.auLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/roger-sutherlandInstagram: @a_healthy_shift___________________Disclaimer: Roger Sutherland is not a doctor or a medical professional.  Always consult a physician before implementing any strategies mentioned in this podcast.
